AFAWE

Home > myGrid In Use > AFAWE

The Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research in Cologne, Germany have developed the Automatic Functional Annotation in a distributed Web Service Environment (AFAWE).

AFAWE is a tool for the automatic functional annotation of new genes in plants and other organisms.

The annotation involves the running of several webservices, and also the execution of a Taverna workflow.

The annotation workflow is available on myExperiment.

The paper Protein function prediction and annotation in an integrated environment powered by web services (AFAWE) by Joecker et al describes the concepts and implementation of AFAWE.
